SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: Section
211 of division O of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2018 amended
Title V of FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. 1761–1771,
to add section 512, codified at 43 U.S.C.
1772. Section 512 of FLPMA governs
development, review, and approval of
proposed operating plans and
agreements for vegetation management,
inspection, and operation and
maintenance of powerline facilities on
NFS lands. Section 512 of FLPMA
requires the Forest Service to
promulgate implementing regulations
and issue implementing agency
guidance. The Forest Service
promulgated regulations implementing
section 512 of FLPMA on July 10, 2020
(85 FR 41387). The proposed directive
would add Chapter 80 to the Special
Uses Handbook, to implement section
512 of FLPMA.
The Forest Service has determined
that the proposed directive would
formulate standards, criteria, and
guidelines applicable to a Forest Service
program and is therefore publishing the
proposed directive for public comment
in accordance with 36 CFR part 216.
After the public comment period
closes, the Forest Service will consider
timely and relevant comments in
developing the final directive. A notice
of the final directive, including a
response to timely and relevant
comments, will be posted on the Forest
Service’s web page at https://
www.fs.fed.us/about-agency/
regulations-policies/comment-on-
directives.
